Discover the contemporary work of TMC

Visual arts teacher at After retirement, I studied at the Fine Arts of Tourcoing and at the faculty of plastic arts of Lille III from 1981 to 1986.

I also worked at at the Matisse Museum in Le Cateau-cambrésis and at the LaM in Villeneuve d'Ascq as a facilitator and lecture guide.

I realized large format paintings, some of which have been exhibited as part of a collective exhibition with the Union of Plastic Arts, UAP, in the 1980s, the Printemps Culturel Valenciennois.

The drawings that I am currently making have never been done before. exhibited but are published regularly on Facebook.

I created this pot-bellied, asexual character and without age to; shaggy hair, in 2022 in response to a challenge launched also by an artist friend, Jozef Bonnot who motivated me to make a drawing a day for a year. This is Germaine Richier's sculpture, 'Bullfighting'. who inspired me a lot to invent this character.

I respected almost the challenge and achieved it. more than 300 drawings representing this strange character in different postures and contexts.

I am inspired by photographs taken from contemporary dance shows, cinema, paintings or sculptures by famous or unknown artists.

What interests me above all is the expression of the body, the posture, the representation of the hands and feet. I like when my character is grotesque or burlesque.

I always add an object represented by with more or less realism in order to create a contrast with the graphic style of the character which is much more gestural, sometimes close to writing.

I always start my drawing with the head, represented by pencil strokes;    (pencil) very fast, very nervous.

A few of them have been printed on white t-shirts. the demand from people interested in my style.
